Yeah these things are always best bought like that, I don't see the point of episodic releases.

I bought the entire series of the original for the Christmas sale IIRC and it was at a great price.

I got it for free a month of two ago. Glad too because I almost bought it last year but held off.

It seems to be getting a really positive reception so far. I was apprehensive about it, so that makes me glad.

Oh really?

Back then I just saw the first ep for free :S

They recently gave it as one of the PS+ games.

I'm not sure about it.

I really liked Life Is Strange but it's a game that did not need a sequel, let alone a prequel made by someone else featuring Rachel.

That seems to be missing every point going of the original game,

But I'm a sucker so I'll end up buying it when it's on sale.

^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

It may have been made by someone else but it captured everything that made Life is Strange so good. Plus it offers more insight into Chloe's past and her character.

This is what I'm doing but I already own the game and the temptation to just start is unreal. I know I'd regret it in the long run with the wait between episodes though.

Doesn't help that I've been hearing good things so far, too.

No shit, but why does that mean that Chloe has to have powers? Especially given that it's never even hinted at in LiS?

Plot-wise, of course it doesn't make sense. He's concerned that the gameplay will be boring without the defining mechanic of the original.

Again, because he's fucking 12 years old. Not every game needs super powers.

It must still delve into some of the paranormal stuff surely. Perhaps through Rachel. Or maybe there will be a time travel twist at some point. Not really sure what to expect.

Surely you can still understand his point and it has nothing to do with his age, but rather how the previous game worked.

I don't get it at all. This is a prequel, it was announced as a prequel, and it was stated that there'd be no powers. Why the hell would you expect the same thing despite this? Makes that person look ignorant as all hell.

I bought it and I sure as hell hope I don't regret it. I don't really care too much for a prequel because I never really liked Chloe nor did I care that much for Amber to begin with. I rather have a LiS2 game with a totally new cast of characters, I have faith in Dontnod to provide a game with rich storytelling. I sure hope these developers know what they're doing.

Being negative on purpose to lower my expectation of the game so I don't end up being disappointed lol.

I wasn't sure what I thought of Chloe's new voice, but I've watched about an hour of footage from one of the many, MANY vids on Youtube already uploaded of the whole thing and I think I'm used to it now.

Really got tired of Ashley Burch's easily recognizable yet painfully generic voice.

But yeah, it seems like this game's not going to win anyone over who didn't like Chloe (or even just her attitude) to begin with. In fact, one of her special gimmicks for this game is a "backtalk" challenge, where you basically just talk shit to someone in order to strong arm/embarrass/harass them enough in order to get Chloe's way, but don't worry this doesn't occur for every conversation she has.

Aside from the fact that I disagree and that there are way too many open questions, this is a prequel.

She's complex, yeah, but I can't say I really liked her. I played it because I enjoyed Max.
So while I'll still play it, a Chloe-centric prequel isn't as inviting to me.

A prequel about Rick/Shane being cops or about Negan before the apocalypse? Sounds interesting enough.
